Modify Submission Metadata

Validator enables you to edit submission metadata to include envelope information and STF leaf details, save any updates made to their backbone and regional XML, and recalculate checksums accordingly. This allows for minor changes to be made without the need to republish an entire submission or any individual elements.

To modify the submission metadata:

  1. In the Properties pane, click on the Value text box of the attribute value you want to modify.
  2. Modify the attribute value as needed.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • To update the changes in the existing backbone xml files, retain the default path under Target Folder. Select the options regional.xml, index.xml and/or stf.xml to update the respective files.
    • To make a copy of the backbone xml files with the changes, use the Browse button and select a new location. When a copy of the backbone xml files are created, no changes will affect the existing backbone xml files. Select the options regional.xml, index.xml and/or stf.xml to update the respective files.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • To save the index-md5.txt file with the backbone xml file, select the option Save index-md5.txt file with Backbone XML file option.
    • To save the index-md5.txt file in a different location, clear the option Save index.md5.txt file with Backbone XML file option and using the Browse button, select a location.
  6. Click OK.
  7. In the confirmation message window, click OK.
